In this thesis, we examine what loads appear with different types of flight regimes (take-off, climb, cruise, descent and landing). The aerodynamic forces, which are presented along with any factors that may affect them, represent the most important factor in aircraft loads. To determine the aircraft’s load, we performed acceleration measurements by using the LSM6DSO. The measurements were sampled on the Cessna 172 airplane, which was flying standard training laps. This data was transferred to the software developed for processing the data by using the level crossing cycle counting method. This method eliminates loading cycles that do not affect aircraft loading. Our research confirmed that the highest loads occur at landing, while the other regimes show a smaller, but rather similar load pattern.
